Horror punk icon Wednesday 13 slithered from the cobwebbed depths of Charlotte, North Carolina in the early 1990s — quickly making his way to the top of the horrendous heights of rock, punk and metal crossover with his electrifying, acclaimed solo music, relentless international touring and also as frontman of renowned horror punk supergroup MURDERDOLLS. Now, nearly 20 years after the formation of his namesake group, WEDNESDAY 13 is about to take his solo project to the next level by signing a worldwide contract with Napalm Records.
In addition, WEDNESDAY 13 has announced a massive 2022 U.S. headline tour, dubbed “20 Years Of Fear”. Kicking off on March 23, 2022 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the tour will feature a special setlist spanning WEDNESDAY 13’s entire career. Three select dates will also feature a set from fellow punk/metal icon Doyle. After visiting a slew of American cities, the tour will end on May 7 in Sacramento, California.
